Here are 10 thoughts after the Chicago Bears showed a little spunk and fought against the Philadelphia Eagles, owners of the best record in the NFL, before falling short 25-20 Sunday at Soldier Field.
“I mean, nobody would be happy over a turnover or anything,” he said. “It’s a part of the game. A lot of things are going to happen as you play this sport. And a lot of things don’t go your way. It’s all about how you come back and prepare for the next. That’s behind me now. There’s nothing I can do about it now. Just keep a positive attitude. Keep coming back to work.”
Eberflus could have softened his comments about the turnover but he didn’t, and that’s noteworthy for this week as well as next summer if Jones remains mostly a gadget player on offense. “I wasn’t upset ,” he said. “It’s just another opportunity because the market ain’t doing nothing but going up and up, so I might as well go put me together a great year like I’ve been doing and dip into it.
For an insider’s perspective on Payne in Washington, I chatted with Donnie Warren, who retired as a senior pro scout for the Commanders in May. Warren was a trusted voice for Rivera, having served as a pro scout with the Panthers when Rivera was their coach. If the Commanders wind up keeping Payne, that would remove the top name from the list of impact interior linemen the Bears could consider to revamp a front seven in serious need of a makeover.Eagles defensive tackle Javon Hargrave will be positioned to cash in too. He had two of the team’s six sacks Sunday to run his season total to a career-high 10. He has aged really well as his previous career high was 7½ last season. Of course, being surrounded by good linemen helps.
On the next snap, Leatherwood didn’t get enough depth in his drop. He was forced to open his hips, and Reddick was by him in a flash for an 11-yard sack. There was another snap in which Reddick came off the offense’s right side and beat tight end Cole Kmet. I don’t believe Leatherwood was guilty of missing his assignment on that snap, but he was playing slow and that’s a problem for the Bears.
“There’s a glitch,” Santos said. “I have done it and felt comfortable with it for eight years. Today I decided to make a change and kicked them from the middle. I think I needed a change of scenery. To be honest and fair, I’m not missing them in practice. I don’t feel there is a technical problem. But for some reason when the visuals with the right hash aren’t clicking, I changed it to the middle at halftime and felt really good about it.“It’s a wrinkle. It bugs you.
“It’s a good feeling that I am excited to work on moving forward,” Santos said of the shift to the middle.8. One benefit the Bears got from not trading Robert Quinn before Oct. 26 was the impact he had on young players.Quinn missed Sunday’s game after suffering a minor knee injury in practice early this month. The Eagles announced Dec. 6 he underwent arthroscopic surgery with the hope of getting back in time for the playoffs.
“His approach is almost sideways,” Robinson said, twisting his upper body to mimic how Quinn is able to bend on the edge as he turns the corner to the quarterback. “He sits like this. And then it’s a cross chop.”When Quinn is flying off the edge, it almost looks like he’s running on his ankles as he attacks the offensive tackle. He looks like a muscled-up Gumby in shoulder pads.
“Robert was a good guy. He didn’t go out of his way to coach me up or anything but I learned from him. His motto was, ‘My job is my job.’ That’s how he became who he is, and him challenging me every day was the biggest thing. He was super cool. When the regular season started, he said, ‘Just go out and do your thing.’“Trust me, his pass rush is nuts. I was watching film, we had a protection meeting this week, and he got the edge and literally slid to the quarterback.
